Like many Palestinians and Arabs, the Iranian-backed Hamas movement that controls the Gaza Strip sees the Russia-Ukraine war as evidence of the weakness of the Biden administration and the end of the status of the US as the world’s sole superpower.
The timidity of the Biden administration and the perceived decline of the US in the international arena are good news for Hamas, whose leaders are hoping that this will pave the way for them to achieve their goal of replacing Israel with an Islamic fundamentalist state.
Musa Abu Marzouk, a member of the Hamas “politburo,” said recently:
“The Russia-Ukraine war indicates that the era of America’s unipolar role has ended. America is unable to decide on war against Russia, and therefore the US will not be a decision-maker in international politics…”
The Hamas leader seems predictably optimistic about the prospects of killing Jews and eliminating Israel under a weakened US. Abu Marzouk is so excited about the perceived decline of the US that he believes that now Hamas and the Palestinians can start talking about the “future” of the Middle East.
What future does Hamas and many Palestinians foresee?
